Principal's Message

Dear Barrett Families

As the Principal, it is my mission to create a positive environment that encourages and fosters diversity while supporting success for everyone – students, teachers, staff, and parents. My goal is to ensure that every student is provided the highest quality of education in a safe and supportive learning environment.  I’m a firm believer that communication amongst teachers, staff, and parents, is essential to helping each student achieve his/her very best. We are a collaborative educational team ensuring that every student is valued and worthy of our best effort to make this happen.

Barrett is excited to welcome our new Vice Principal, Sabrina Young.  Mrs. Young has been a teacher in our district for more than 20 years.  During her tenure, she worked at Carnegie, Will Rogers, and served as the interim VP at John Barrett during the 2021-22 school year.  Mrs. Young has a variety of experience in administration and Barrett is extremely lucky to have her.

Lastly, at Barrett, we believe in having positive relationships with both students and their families, and know that the teacher-student relationship is extremely important for student's academic success. We model for our students how to take on leadership roles, advocate for themselves and build positive relationships with adults and fellow student. 

If you have any questions please contact me anytime.
